Horror's Not Dead

Horror's Not Dead

"The end is near. I hear a noise at the door, as of some immense slippery body lumbering against it. It shall not find me. God, that hand! The window! The window!"

Review: LEFT 4 DEAD (PC) - Peter’s Take

Published by Valve, 2008
I realize there has been dearth of horror movie reviews on this site of late.  I could blame the onset of winter months, which are the weakest weeks of the year as far as horror is concerned, but that would be a scapegoat.  I was out of the country for a few [...]

REVIEW - LEFT 4 DEAD (PC) - Matt’s Take

LEFT 4 DEAD
Produced and Developed by Valve Corporation
Given my recent reviews and trailer impressions, it seems only fitting a zombie apocalypse game should come around that I get to review. Being a PC gamer, there is some bias in favor of Valve and everything they make. Ask any PC Gamer and they will agree that [...]

Review - Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Video Game)

Published and Developed by Capcom. 2005
I can remember when I first saw the E3 videos for RESIDENT EVIL 4. Leon Kennedy was walking in a mansion when a humanoid apparition appeared before him, chasing him out of the room. While the first videos had their freaky moments, I still sighed. The concept of ghosts just [...]

Trailer Impressions: RE:WII, LEFT 4 DEAD, A VAMPIRE STORY, HOUSE OF THE DEAD, FEAR 2 and More

A couple of horror game trailers and clips have hit the scene in the last week, here are my thoughts:
RESIDENT EVIL - Wii Port

First up we have the new trailer for the (so far) Japan only release of the RESIDENT EVIL remake. It shows a trailer, which shows off nothing that we haven’t seen from [...]

First Impression: SPLATTERHOUSE (Game)

The first trailer for Splatterhouse has arrived:

I must admit, the trailer reminds me of HOSTEL and that does not bode well.   Although the graphics sure look uninspired, there isn’t too much to praise or condemn. With no real gameplay or features shown, it is more of a teaser than anything.
In the end it’s better than [...]

Review: Dead Rising (Video Game)

Developed and produced by Capcom 2006.
I have a confession.  If a game has zombies, odds are I am going to like it. If the game gives me the opportunity to shoot said zombies, odds are I am going to love it.  Thus I am lucky that Capcom loves killing zombies as much as I do, [...]

Holy Awesome, CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR has zombie Nazis!

GameTrailers got the scoop this week that after beating the campaign mode of CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR, the latest in the World War II FPS series out November 11th, you will unlock a multiplayer co-op mode in which up to four players will have to defend a derelict farm house from wave after [...]

HND Talks to Craig Hubbard, Principal Game Designer of F.E.A.R. 2: PROJECT ORIGIN

HND was recently given the opportunity to exchange some questions with the driving force behind F.E.A.R. 2: PROJECT ORIGIN, the few months away multi-platform sequel to hit first person shooter F.E.A.R.
I think the Q&A session went well, to be honest.  It is the first of its kind on the site and I’d like to thank [...]

Intro: New Face to the HorrorsNotDead.com Brood

I write this to everyone to say “Hi”. I’m Matt Wells and I’ll be covering a large portion of the new horror/sci-fi game section of HorrorsNotDead.com. I’ve been a reader and comment-contributor for almost three years, brought to it when a friend from Longwood heard me talk about several horror movies and he knew Peter, [...]

Reviews: DEAD SPACE (Video Game)

No, that is not a typo in the title, for the first time ever HND has multiple reviews for the same item.  Today we talk DEAD SPACE, a survival horror video game on 360, PS3 and PC from Electronic Arts.  I’ve always wanted to have multiple perspectives on the same thing run at the same [...]

Behold, the first three days of the Tokyo Game Show expo as they pertain to us.

And with this post HorrorsNotDead.com now officially covers games.  Expect even more coverage in the future.  As most should know, I am an avid gamer, but as it turns out HND reader Matt Wells is an even bigger gamer and has a knack for writing about the booming field.  He has corralled the important horror [...]
